CMS Energy Corp.&#39;s (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cms#NYSE">CMS</a>) subsidiary, Consumers Energy, has signed a deal to collaborate with Jupiter Power to build 100 Megawatts&nbsp;of battery energy storage projects in Michigan. This partnership agreement should put CMS a step toward duly achieving its net-zero carbon emission goal by 2040.
<h3>Benefits of the Agreement</h3>
In response to the United States&#39; growing demand for clean electricity, utility providers such as CMS Energy are rapidly shifting their dependence from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources in order to reap the benefits of the growing utility-scale renewable energy market&#39;s financial, environmental, social and governance benefits. To this end, it is imperative to mention that as energy storage has emerged as a critical component of the clean energy market&#39;s expansion, utilities are targeting to expand their footprint in this space as well. The latest agreement seems to be one such initiative undertaken by CMS Energy. 
Notably, CMS Energy aims to spend $3.4 billion in clean energy between 2024 and 2028, which includes the deployment of energy storage, apart from investments in renewable energy sources like solar, wind and hydroelectricity. Impressively, this amounts to 20% of the overall five-year capital expenditure plan made by the company. 
This investment plan will help Consumers Energy build 75 MW of energy storage by 2027 in partnership with Jupiter Power in Coldwater as part of the latest agreement. This agreement will also advance CMS&#39;s capabilities toward deploying an additional 475 MW of energy storage by 2040.
<h3>Growth Prospects</h3>
The rapidly growing adoption of renewable energy sources worldwide, along with the declining cost of energy storage technologies, has been driving the demand for state-of-the-art energy storage solutions, which enable efficient energy management, grid stability and reliability, thereby ensuring a consistent power supply. 
To this end, the Mordor Intelligence firm expects the global Battery Energy Storage market to witness a CAGR of 8.7% over 2024-2029. This offers solid growth opportunities to utility providers like CME Energy, which are significantly enhancing their footprints in this space. 
The latest agreement with Jupiter Power is an example of CMS&#39;s efforts to gain notable traction in the battery energy storage market. 
Apart from CMS, other prominent utility players, which are also expanding their footprint to reap the benefits of the expanding Battery 
Storage Market, are mentioned below. 
Duke Energy (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/duk#NYSE">DUK</a>): In April 2024, the company unveiled its PowerPair Program for installing home solar generation with battery energy storage in its service areas in North Carolina. This one-time incentive-based program offers up to $9,000 in incentives to consumers for installing solar plus battery energy storage systems. Moreover, DUK intends to put 2,700 MW of battery storage in operation by 2031. 
DUK&#39;s long-term earnings growth rate is 6.1%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2024 sales implies a rise of 3.2% over the 2023 reported figure. 
Alliant Energy (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lnt#NASDAQ">LNT</a>): In August 2023, the company received approval from the Public Service Commission of Wisconsin to construct utility-scale battery storage facilities located at two of its solar sites. The two projects, constituting 175 MW of storage, are expected to be completed by the fall of 2025. 
Alliant Energy&lsquo;s long-term earnings growth rate is 6.1%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for LNT&#39;s 2024 sales implies an improvement of 11% from the prior year&#39;s reported figure. 
NextEra Energy (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nee#NYSE">NEE</a>): The company&#39;s subsidiary, NextEra Energy Resources, added approximately 1,025 MW of storage to its backlog in the first quarter of 2024. In June 2024, NextEra Energy Resources and Entergy announced a joint development agreement that would accelerate the development of up to 4.5 gigawatts of solar generation and energy storage projects. 
NEE&#39;s long-term earnings growth rate is 8.6%. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company&#39;s 2024 sales implies an improvement of 1.6% from the prior-year reported figure.
<h3>Price Movement</h3>
In the past six months, shares of CMS Energy have risen 3.3% against the industry&#39;s decline of 2.6%.

On June 20, 2024, Alliant Energy Corporation and Interstate Power and Light Company (IPL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Alliant Energy, concluded they will incur a one-time charge for the three and six months ending June 30, 2024, related to the non-unanimous settlement agreement reached with the Office of Consumer Advocate and the Iowa Business Energy Coalition for IPL&rsquo;s retail electric rate review.
As a result of the settlement agreement, IPL concluded that it is no longer probable that it will earn a return on the regulatory asset for IPL&rsquo;s retired coal-fired Lansing Generating Station from its retail customers when final rates are expected to be implemented later in 2024.
The amount of the non-cash pre-tax charge is approximately $60 million (resulting in an after-tax charge of approximately $45 million, or approximately $0.17 per diluted share). The settlement agreement is subject to approval by the Iowa Utilities Board.

Alliant Energy's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LNT#NYSE">LNT</a>) short percent of float has fallen 12.93% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 4.51 million shares sold short, which is 2.02% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Alliant Energy has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Alliant Energy's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Alliant Energy's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 2.39%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
